Adobe AIR on Linux: Pre-Beta Testers Needed
I’m forwarding a blog entry in which Adobe ask for Linux beta testers for their AIR technology. If I have correctly understood, it is a Internet rich client technology using Flash and Flex. It’s currently available on Mac and Windows, and it is being ported to Linux.
I’m a bit curious about this technology. A lot of different efforts are currently under way to improve the Internet experience, with the now-stalled XHTML 2.0, the upcoming HTML5, the proprietary Silverlight and its open source counterpart Moonlight,… Is this new one a viable competitor?
